How Scoring Works

The Goa Staff Selection Commission (GSSC) conducts the Computer Typing Test for Group 'C' posts including Lower Division Clerk (LDC), Recovery Clerk, Junior Assistant, and Data Entry Operator (DEO). Under official GSSC recruitment schemes (including Advt No. 03/2024 and Advt No. 03/2026), candidates who qualify the Computer Based Test (CBT) are shortlisted for the skill test in a ratio of up to two times the number of vacancies (2x). The test is conducted on desktop computers by the Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE) at designated examination centers (such as Alto Porvorim). Candidates must type a standard English passage over 10 minutes to verify a minimum typing speed of 30 words per minute (WPM). The test carries no marks towards the final selection list; candidates need only to meet or exceed the 30 Net WPM qualifying benchmark.

Practice Tips

  • ›Pace yourself steadily at 33-35 WPM in practice so that nerves on exam day do not drop your speed below the 30 WPM cutoff.
  • ›The test is qualifying only; focus on steady, mistake-free typing rather than excessive sprinting.
  • ›Practice on standard desktop mechanical or chiclet keyboards rather than laptop keyboards, as government test centers use standard external desktop peripherals.
